I don't think that's so strange. Fake implies something bad and silk/artificial flowers have came a long way from what they once were. I used silk and I don't think anyone realized it.

When people treat bridal party bad. Like list of things they have to do. Not taking budgets or BP lives in consideration. To me you asked these people cause they are who you want to stand by your side. Not to have a expensive dress , fancy hair and pro make up.

I'm going to join the chorus on the "marriage is bad" jokes. I hate those "bride dragging the groom" cake toppers, and all of that.

It's misogynistic, unfunny, and makes a mockery of love.

STAHP.

I totally agree!

People who go to weddings just for an open bar and "free food" Like I'm inviting people to come share a really special day in my life, not come to some random expensive party just so you can eat and get drunk. I'm one of those "cheap brides" who's having a cash bar (for several reasons) and providing plenty of non alcoholic drinks. I'm not asking people to come get drunk with me, I'm asking people to be there for me and my fh

Yes! I totally agree!

View Quoted Comment Right?! So annoying

View Quoted Comment Yes!!!! It’s so cringe-y and in bad taste

So far I don't have any except for dealing with my fiance and all of his left field ideas for the wedding.

Phones during the ceremony!!!!

When people try to tell the bride and groom what their wedding is “supposed” to be like. It’s literally your party. Do what makes you happy. You don’t want to wear white? You don’t want to invite the whole world? You don’t want to do the bouquet toss? Don’t. You do you.

Same with telling everyone how to do their wedding my coworkers give such a hard time about keeping my wedding planning binder saying I'm going overboard and being too stressed over it. I want to be organized its my wedding they aren't invited leave me alone. lol

When people say that’s got to be expensive when asking about your wedding. 🙄

A few of mine have been said on here, but here is a big one to me that hasn't been said yet:

When the wedding has a color scheme, but the formal wear, decor, flowers, etc. are all noticeably different shades of that color.

For example, blueish-toned purple bouquets with reddish-toned purple dresses. The color tones vary between vests, ties, centerpieces, decor, etc. I know it is near impossible to get perfect matches, but when they are SO off from each other it irks me.

View Quoted Comment My FH and I get that all the time too!

Completely agree with you! I dont want anyone there at all when we see each other all dressed up for the first time (except the photographer so we can get some cute shots). Neither of us likes being the center of attention and there wont be a sweet moment if we dont have a first look because I'll be too nervous to get out of the spotlight that I will be sprinting down the aisle just to get it over with. If we have a chance to really chat and see each other before it will calm both of us down so we can actually enjoy our ceremony. Plus we are getting married after sundown (winter so still around 4pm - but it will be dark by then) so if we are going to be able to get any natural light photos we need to do so before the ceremony. Which also means our family portraits will be done before as well.

Yes, lol, literally everyone in my family. Imagine the mother of the bride being that person...

View Quoted Comment YES YES YES!!!!!

I CANNOT stand calling the bride and groom selfish for wanting things in the wedding their way. It’s about them no one else. They’re getting married. Nobody’s has done this to me but I see it forums. Drives me insane. It’s not my job to cater to anyone on this day. My whole life I have and my wedding is about me as it should be about every other bride and groom. If someone doesn’t like the way something is being done that’s one less plate of food for me to pay for. Over sensitive people do not have a place at my special day, I can’t make everyone happy or am I going to try. Neither should you. It’s your day, donut your way. Even if someone is helping you pay for it, strings should not come attached. If something is very important to your parents of course discuss it and try to incorporate. But when dad demands you have the ceremony a certain way or your mom, that your dress be white but you want rose... it’s not her day. You do you boo boo, the goal is to only do this thing once, make it count!!
